#3 Personal generators are a racist 'Load Sharing' work-around and should be banned.

#4 ^ Individuality. It's such an ugly, democracy destroying thing.

#5 That reminds me: I need to go get my generator out of storage. There's a storm tracking for the windward islands...

#6 My generator is large and permanent. I have no intention of freezing in the dark in the north woods for these pocket hitlers.

When the power goes out the generator kicks in and is good for a couple of weeks if necessary though 3 days is the longest we've needed it since moving to NH 4 years ago.

Sounds like it might be time to build up the ammo supply.

#7 Yes it is clear the LSD's want control of your life, electricity, EV travel, Home cooling/heating, meals, and etc...

But take a peak on eBay.com or Alibaba.com at various 2kw to 4kw + Wind or Hydro electric Generators from $500 to $1,800 delivered.

But then again, the LSD's would just invoke an US Air or US Water use tax next.

#8 They are trying to trigger martial law. It will take an elimination of bass boat engines to throw society into chaos. When I see that restriction hit, II will be heading to The Walmart to buy two pallets of toilet paper.

#9 When you are able to exercise legitimate control of your affairs, you have freedom. When some other SOB exercises control of your affairs freedom is lost.

#10 You mean like, "my body, my rules"?

#11 The occasional black might actually serve one purpose. It could get voters so pissed off that they stop voting Democrat.

#12 occasional blackout

No excuses. I've had my coffee.

#13 Ref #6
GENERAC 22KW, a Godsend during last winter. I can run the well, my A/C, dishwasher and laundry washer/dryer simultaneously.

#14 Re the generator in storage: it's a 10kw (not very) portable. It's got an 8kw little brother sitting next to it.
I bought those while I was living south of Houston; since I retired and move to near Lake Livingston, we haven't even had a flicker. Hence, "in storage".

#15 /\ Better not to take any chances. Go ahead and turn yourself in Ed.
